Maryam and Edward Eisler provide significant
funding to help the Museum expand its Middle East collection.

They are members of the Contemporary and Modern Middle Eastern
Art acquisition group, which enables the Museum to respond quickly
to the contemporary art market and be strategic in its collecting
policy.

The Eisler fund supports the acquisition of important works by
Iranian artists. The fund also supports a one year
curatorial position to work with a senior curator on researching,
administering and developing the modern and contemporary collection
at the British Museum, as well as providing for a report to create
a strategy for collecting Iranian art for the future.
